How to Fix MSI Tomahawk MAX Catalina network problem
This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Prerequisites
- Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
- Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.
Fix Steps
- Verify your network controller model (Intel, Broadcom, Realtek).
- Ensure the correct kext (e.g., AirportItlwm or BrcmPatchRAM) is loaded in your config.

Original Question:
Hello folks !
I installed catalina on my build but seems that the network driver doesn't work.
My build:
- MSI Tomahawk MAX
- Ryzen 5 3400G
- Sapphire Radeon RX590 Nitro+ SE
- G.Skill RipjawsV 16GB DDR4-3600MHz
My open core setup:
BOOT
- BOOTx64.efi
OC/ACPI
- SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP.aml
OC/Drivers
- HfsPlus.efi
- OpenRuntime.efi
OC/Kexts
- AppleALC.kext
- Lilu.kext
- RealtekRTL8111.kext
- VirtualSMC.kext
- WhateverGreen.kext
my Config.plist -> http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=44746693393743086684
I saw many examples for this motherboard and all of them use this network driver.
What i'm missing here ?
P.S.: The macOS boots but without network.
